]]>This October, Smith & Wollensky is pleased to celebrating 40 years as America’s classic steakhouse. The original Smith & Wollensky location opened in 1977 in New York City, and has since become an institution known for its American hospitality and New-York style swagger. Famously described by the New York Times as “a steakhouse to end all arguments” and widely known as “America’s Steakhouse,” the time-honored steakhouse brand has expanded to nine locations across the top cities in America, including Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Houston, and Miami Beach, as well as their first international location in London.

“We are proud to celebrate 40 incredible years as “America’s Steakhouse,” said Michael Feighery, CEO and president of Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group. “From the beginning, Smith & Wollensky has exemplified an unwavering commitment to quality, integrity and hospitality. Our team is dedicated to delivering the best steakhouse experience in the country and abroad – and we are proud of the esteemed relationships we have created over the years to honor our charm, iconic reputation and thriving growth.”

To commemorate four decades, the team at Smith & Wollensky will take guests on a journey with a special “Then & Now” presentation of a dry-aged USDA Prime New York Strip, offered in classic and contemporary preparations throughout October. 40 years ago, the New York Sirloin was the cornerstone of the classic Smith & Wollensky experience, and to rejoice in four decades of serving high quality steaks, the team will bring back a nostalgic version of this cut from the original menu with a twist: 18oz. with a unique 40-day dry-aged preparation, presented larger in size than the traditional. The classic steak will be simply broiled, served with creamed spinach, roasted mushrooms and buttermilk onion rings – three classic sides still adorning the menu today.

Corporate Executive Chef Matt King has also created an elevated “now” take of this popular steak that highlights the evolution of Smith & Wollensky, with a more composed, seasonal presentation of this same 18oz. 40-day dry-aged USDA Prime New York Strip, featuring mountain bleu cheese and foie gras spinach fondue, king trumpet mushrooms tossed in truffle honey, and sweet potato fingerlings. Each steak presentation is offered at $77, in honor of the year 1977 when the first Smith & Wollensky location opened, a fantastic value for any steak enthusiast.

Proud to be the only national steakhouse brand devoted to dry-aging and hand-carving USDA Prime steaks in-house, Smith & Wollensky continues to honor this tried and true tradition that traces back to their first restaurant opening. The steakhouses enhance their beef with in-house dry-aging for 28 days, and are raising the steaks throughout October with this supreme 40-day dry-aged anniversary preparation that will deliver a further enriched, intense beef flavor.

As part of the anniversary celebration, the steakhouses will also feature premium wine and whiskey offerings that are well aligned in their own history, heritage and longtime presence as part of the “America’s Steakhouse” dining experience, including Robert Mondavi Winery and Woodford Reserve. Celebrated as a pioneer in the world of California wine, Robert Mondavi’s signature cabernet wines have been a longtime favorite among Smith & Wollensky guests as a superior steak-pairing wine. The Oakville Cabernet, from Mondavi’s To Kalon Vineyard, will be featured by the glass and bottle at special prices, for a limited time. The steakhouses will also feature Smith & Wollensky 40thAnniversary branded Woodford Reserve Bourbon bottles and specials, including an anniversary Woodford Reserve Rye crafted Manhattan cocktail, barrel-aged in-house for over 30 days.

To complement the 40-year festivities, Smith & Wollensky has collaborated with esteemed knife manufacturer, ZWILLING J.A. Henckels, to design custom steak knives that will ensure the best steak eating experience possible. The exclusive steak knives adorning each place setting at Smith & Wollensky will also be available in a branded bamboo gift box for purchase in restaurant and online starting in October, making for the perfect gift-set for any culinary enthusiast: https://www.smithandwollensky.com/our-shop. As the restaurant group celebrates their 40thanniversary, this special commemorative gift set of four knives with 40th anniversary messaging will be available for a special price of $77, for a limited time.

To learn more about the history of Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group and their 40th anniversary celebrations, a dedicated anniversary website will go live in October: www.smithandwollensky.com/40thAnniversary. Anniversary specials will take place at all Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group locations, excluding New York City. The London location will also celebrate with similar activity, visit http://www.smithandwollensky.co.uk/ for details.

“After an extensive search for the finest steak knives that align with our commitment to quality, we partnered with the team at ZWILLING J.A. Henckels due to their long-standing reputation for producing premium cutlery around the world,” said Corporate Executive Chef Matt King. “At Smith & Wollensky, we strive to provide the highest quality steaks, service, and dining atmosphere for our guests. From our in-house dry aging and hand-butchering process, to our selection and care of steak knives, we pride ourselves in going the extra mile to deliver an extraordinary steakhouse experience for our guests.”

This fall, as Smith & Wollensky gears up to celebrate their 40th anniversary in October, all Smith & Wollensky locations in the United States have upgraded their cutlery to these customized, non-serrated ZWILLING J.A. Henckels steak knives appointed with the following features:

A fine edge blade made of high carbon stainless steel, hardened using the FRIODUR method of rapid heating and freezing for the perfect combination of sharpen-ability and edge retention

Pakka wood handle for a beautiful wood grain richness with superb moisture resistance to prevent fading and cracking of the handle

With this custom design, the straight edge blades will offer a cleaner cut that guarantees extreme tenderness and an elevated overall dining experience for guests, as they will be able to smoothly slice into their dry-aged steaks.

The exclusive steak knives adorning each place setting at Smith & Wollensky will also be available for purchase in restaurant and online starting in October, making for the perfect gift-set for any culinary enthusiast: https://www.smithandwollensky.com/our-shop.

As the restaurant group celebrates their 40th anniversary in October, a special commemorative gift set of four knives with 40th anniversary messaging will be available for a special price of $77 for a limited time, in honor of the year 1977 when the first Smith & Wollensky location opened in New York City. After October, the four-piece set will be priced at $125.

Smith & Wollensky’s partnership with ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the perfect pairing to another meaningful collaboration the restaurant group announced last spring with Double R Ranch, their exclusive premium beef vendor. Smith & Wollensky’s USDA prime steaks and signature filets are sourced from a network of small family farms and sustainably produced by Double R Ranch and Snake River Farms in the Pacific Northwest, and further enhanced through in-house dry aging for 28 days.

Founded in 1731, ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is one of the oldest brands on record. The brand is recognized as a symbol of quality, innovation, and design. Over 285 years after its founding ZWILLING J.A.

]]>We’re answering the call of summer with the return of the wine and appetizer pairing special, “Summer’s Calling,” which features wines by The Calling and two of our most popular starters.

Available through September, enjoy a complimentary appetizer selection of Ribeye Carpaccio or Tuna Tartare for every two glasses of The Calling’s wine ordered at Smith & Wollensky in Boston, Chicago, Houston and Miami Beach. For Smith & Wollensky Columbus, the appetizer will be offered for $1, due to local beverage laws.

Sourced and made from some of the most prestigious vineyards and winemakers in Sonoma County, The Calling is a wine owned by Emmy award-winning CBS Lead Sports Commentator Jim Nantz, who has called the greatest sporting events of his generation, and Peter Deutsch of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits.

“At Smith & Wollensky, in addition to our top-quality USDA Prime Dry Aged steaks, we pride ourselves in featuring seasonally inspired dishes that showcase freshness and quality.” said Richard Cheshul, national wine program director for Smith & Wollensky. “We have the same philosophy and passion for wine. This summer, we are proud to partner with The Calling Winery from Sonoma County. We are excited to feature both the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay and the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Both are terrific summer offerings and their expressiveness and approachability make them perfect pairings for our Signature Tuna Tartare and Rib Eye Carpaccio.”

The Calling’s wine selections include the following, with tasting notes:

The Calling’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are exquisite matches for Smith & Wollensky’s classic Ribeye Carpaccio (dry-aged Double R Ranch Prime rib cap, arugula, parmesan, lemon oil) and Tuna Tartare (avocado, cucumber, ponzu, lotus root chip). Impeccably light and approachable, each wine is delicate enough to accompany the elegant nature of the tuna while retaining a level of complexity to provide a strong backbone for the robustly flavorful ribeye. Perfect for happy hour with friends on one of Smith & Wollensky’s picturesque patios or as a first course in a steak dinner for two, guests can enjoy the Summer’s Calling pairings for a limited time this season.

Please think of this as a brief hiatus while we create our new home for you to enjoy.

Our team is hard at work fine-tuning plans to further enhance the Smith & Wollensky Las Vegas steakhouse experience to fall in line with our refreshed, contemporary and forward-thinking vision. Details on our brand new location for us to call home will be announced in the coming months.

]]>Smith & Wollensky is celebrating 15 years in Columbus with the completion of a large-scale makeover to its Easton Town Center location. Designed by long-time Boston collaborators Peter Niemitz Design Group and Shawmut Design and Construction, the second and final phase of this extensive restoration process includes updates to the restaurant’s main bar, lounge, and outdoor patio, following a phase one remodel of the dining room and private event spaces in late-2016.

“The Smith & Wollensky team is proud to celebrate 15 years in Columbus and to top it off with the debut of our stunning renovation project means so much to our dedicated restaurant team,” said Steve Barstis, general manager of Smith & Wollensky Columbus. “We are thrilled to present an all-new look enhancing the overall steakhouse experience, with a more open-concept and modernized atmosphere for our loyal guests and visitors to Columbus. We look forward to continuing relationships and creating memories with our guests and community for many years to come.”

With the final phase now complete, the latest enhancements at this must-see dining destination include spectacular all-new updates to the main bar, lounge and outdoor patio. Patrons are now able to enjoy mixing and mingling at an expansive new 36-seat racetrack bar adorned with contemporary granite counter tops, under-lighting, and conveniently placed USB outlets. The tech-savvy crowd will appreciate the addition of four new wide-screen floating TVs, an updated audio system, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the restaurant. Two massive oyster-banquettes connected by a long high-top banquette, several butcher-block tables fashioned with bentwood stools, cozy booths, and scattered butcher block high-tops now make up the comfortable seating arrangement in the main bar. In addition, the floors have all been refinished and are complemented by a basket-weave black and white marble tile surrounding the bar. Japanese-woven wall coverings, dark hardwood wainscoting, and classic NYC subway-tiled columns enhance the overall aesthetic by incorporating a brilliance of texture to the space.

The refurbishments continue outside with a newly enclosed, heated, and ambient-lit all-weather patio that offers unobstructed views of Easton’s water fountain and vibrant walkways for socializing and people watching. Patio furnishings include inviting new canopies, dining tables, chairs, and lounge seating centered around a gas fire pit, perfect for al fresco gatherings.

These fresh enhancements follow the phase one complete structural overhaul and interior redesign to the main dining room and private event spaces, offering a more lavish and contemporary dining setting. The upgrades to the steakhouse’s four distinctive private dining and event spaces feature a contemporary interior design in addition to expanded capacity. Business and social events from 20 to 500 are hosted in a choice of versatile spaces with amenities such as working fireplaces, a private bar, combined rooms and views of the chefs at work in the updated “Kitchen Table Room.” These new accommodations are now prime for hosting large-scale holiday parties, corporate events and more, with additional space for partial and full venue buyouts.

Smith & Wollensky Columbus is located at 4145 The Strand W, in the heart of the upscale and bustling retail district, Easton Town Center, which hosts a wealth of luxury shopping and dining destinations outside of Columbus. The 10,000-square foot, 335-seat steakhouse has been a long-standing and popular steakhouse destination since its opening in 2002, serving the brand’s signature USDA Prime dry-aged steaks, premium seafood and award-winning wines to over 60,000 business guests, locals and travelers per year.

]]>We are pleased to announce a new beef partnership with Double R Ranch, located in the Pacific Northwest. Through this collaboration, Smith & Wollensky continues its commitment to working with a distinguished and sustainability-minded, single sourced producer to deliver the highest quality and consistency available on the market to its guests. Part of family owned and operated Agri Beef Foods with a network of family-operated ranches in the Pacific Northwest, Double R Ranch is the exclusive premium beef vendor of Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group, Inc.

From ranch to table, the family team at Double R Ranch, named after founder Robert Rebholtz Sr., is involved in every step of the beef lifecycle, including ranching, cattle feeding, and beef processing. Their 70,000-acre ranch in Loomis, Washington, is the home for the breeding herd of Double R Ranch and Snake River Farms, where the heart of their core values is focused on improving livestock, preserving resources, and raising the highest quality cattle in the Northwest.

“I believe Double R Ranch is the finest premium beef available on the market, hand-selected to include only the highest levels of marbling on the USDA grading scale,” said Corporate Executive Chef Matt King. “Through this partnership with Agri Beef Foods and the Rebholtz family of Double R Ranch, we have furthered our commitment to the tradition of ranching with like-minded collaborators and support of sustainable farming practices. At Double R Ranch, sustainability, total quality, animal well-being and social responsibility is a way of life, and we are excited to share their story, seasoned to perfection, through our food at Smith & Wollensky.”

At Double R Ranch, the mild climate, open spaces, and the abundance of natural resources available in the Pacific Northwest ensures that cattle are healthy and comfortable, as healthy cattle are essential to producing the highest quality of beef. The temperate climate also increases access to a diverse range of sustainable and renewable feed ingredients so cattle are nutritiously fed, formulated from a mix of alfalfa, hay, grains, potato and corn, as well as vitamins and minerals custom formulated by a professional cattle nutritionist. These rich elements combined with Double R Ranch’s dedication to applying the most advanced quality practices and food safety measures from ranch to table allow the team to deliver consistently bold and delicious premium beef, always tender, juicy and packed with flavor.

“The extraordinary care, pride and passion that Double R Ranch demonstrates from start to finish in their production process is one of the many reasons that they are highly respected by chefs, restaurateurs and food industry professionals,” adds Matt King. “Ranching culture and a great appreciation for the land is deeply ingrained into the family, where the process of raising cattle is enhanced by family pride and decades of stewardship. They work tirelessly to raise the finest cattle in the country and produce exceptional beef, so chefs like myself can share this experience with our discerning guests who regularly visit Smith & Wollensky with a thirst for the best steaks in town. We are confident that our guests will agree that Double R Ranch is a truly remarkable beef that delivers the consistency and quality they’ve come to expect from our family of restaurants.”

Smith & Wollensky will feature Double R Ranch USDA prime steaks and signature filets, furthered enhanced through in-house aging for 28 days, as well as Snake River Farms’ American Wagyu Beef at Smith & Wollensky locations in the following cities: Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Houston, Las Vegas and Miami Beach. Smith & Wollensky is the only national chain of restaurants to offer Double R Ranch. For further details about Double R Ranch and Agri Beef, visitwww.agribeef.com.
